What are Wall Street analysts saying about Time Warner stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Time Warner stock:

1. Barrington Research analysts commented, "We continue to expect the acquisition to ultimately gain court approval. Both companies are arguing that the added scale is necessary to compete in the evolving ecosystem. In addition, Time Warner, in particular, has argued persuasively that it would be hazardous to its business model to do anything to withhold access to its programming to any distributor in this era of fragmenting programming availability. We certainly agree that programmers including the various Turner networks need the widest distribution possible in order to monetize their advertising potential. We are not attorneys and cannot express a legal opinion, but from a research standpoint we consider it a potentially greater risk for a combination of AT&T and Time Warner to lose carriage if some distributors maintained affiliations that would cause them to want to seek alternatives to one or more Time Warner channels." (5/2/2018)

2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Time Warner reported solid first-quarter results driven by robust performance from HBO and Turner. The company’s Turner division benefited from higher subscription revenues despite decline in subscriber base due to higher contractual rates. HBO also benefited from higher subscription revenues. Shares have outperformed the industry it belongs to on a year-to-date basis. The company’s foray into new markets and digital efforts, and investments in video content and technology bodes well for investors. Time Warner is now focusing on original programming, cost containment and increasing investments in key areas to enhance profitability. However, increasing sports related costs at Turner and increasing programming costs at HBO doesn’t bode well for the company. Moreover, Time Warner’s takeover by AT&T has hit a roadblock due to DOJ’s antitrust concerns, which can drag down share price in the near term." (5/1/2018)
